* This is the modus mailing list * Thanks Ronnie, Cary, and Bill for the responses....we just wanted to make sure the upgrade as transparent as possible so that no customers are affected by massive server level changes. It sounds like this will be a simple migration from 2.x to the new release. We were caught with our pants down when we migrated from 1.x to 2.x when none of the webmail folders or settings moved with the upgrade..........we were nearly lynched by a few of our customers.
Thanks again.... I can't wait until Monday?!?!? Is that sane...waiting for a Monday? :-) Ken Grimes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Rakowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 11:35 PM Subject: [Modus] When is 3.0 due out? > * This is the modus mailing list * > > Hi Ken, > > I'll give you my results of running M3 also. > > As Ronnie mentioned, we have not added a new sieve filter since we began > the beta.
